Sports Massage

Sports massage/stretching therapy is a combination designed specifically to prepare an athlete for an event, to maintain an athlete between events, and aid in athlete’s recovery after an event.  Sports massage and stretching therapy can shorten recovery time between workouts/events, may prevent muscle and tendon injuries, assists in eliminating swelling, maximizes the supply of nutrients and oxygen through increased blood flow and elevates elimination of metabolic wastes.

5 SESSIONS $500

"Aaron Mattes AIS Technique is an effective treatment for deep and superficial fascial release, restoring proper fascial planes for optimal physiologic function. Performing an AIS of no longer than 2 seconds allows the targeted muscles to optimally lengthen without triggering the protective stretch reflex and subsequent reciprocal anatagonistic muscle contraction as the isolated muscle achieves a state of relaxation.  These stretches provide maximum benefit and can be accomplished without opposing tension or resulting trauma." -from www.stretchingusa.com (Aaron's site).

I have spent almost 100 full hours working in Aaron's AIS clinic, directly with Mr. Mattes as well as under his direction with his clients.  I am well-versed with this methodology and I am confident with its results.

This is a dynamic and restorative methodology. This method is not the standard "sit and hold" and can be very effective with athletic performance and recovery as well as those suffering from chronic issues such as frozen shoulder, bunions/hammer toes, carpal tunnel, etc.  The session is purely AIS and does not include massage therapy at all. Client needs to wear comfortable clothes and come prepared to work and learn. This is not passive stretching.  This is an amazing tool to utilize for chronic structural issues. If you are serious about change and are willing to do a little work, those "aches and pains" may just dissipate. I will show you how to do the work on your own as well with help from the tools that you will receive during the first session.

**Please note, sessions are completely tailored to client's need. 90 minutes is the minimum amount of time and may only include stretching.  Session times depend on what we are trying to achieve.

TMJD massage

45 min    $65

This session will be comprised of focused work into the neck, jaw and temple area. Stretching and other modalities will be used to gain relief into the jaw area.

Plantarfasciitis, hammertoe and/or bunion therapy

90 min    $100

This session is specifically focused on the areas that may cause plantarfasciitis. Therefore, not only will the foot/feet be worked but, the legs will also be extensively worked/stretched as well. Regarding, hammertoe and/or bunion issues, the session will also specifically focus on structural issues. Client will also be educated with stretches and techniques to use at home to help with condition.

Pregnancy Massage

60 min  $70            90 min $95

During pregnancy, a woman’s body undergoes many changes, some of them stressful and uncomfortable. Massage is an ideal way to reduce stress and relieve some of the discomforts of pregnancy.  Massage increases muscle tone and joint mobility, reduces swelling in hands and feet, alleviates headaches, sinus congestion, and lessens sciatic pain associated with pregnancy. Massage also increases circulation and lymph flow subsequently reducing fatigue.

Hot Stone Massage

Full Session   90 min  $110           

Stone massage involves the application of water-heated basalt stones of varying sizes to key points on the body, creating the ultimate rejuvenation of the nervous system.  Essential oils can be added to the water and stones for a deeper sense of calm.  The warm stones expand blood vessels increasing circulation, aids in elimination, eases sinus pressure, suspends stress, anxiety and tension and restores equilibrium to mind and body.

Couples Massage

60 min   $150         90 min   $210

This is a great gift idea for anniversaries, birthdays or just an escape from the everyday routine!  A great way to spend quality time together while dissolving stress with an invigorating massage. One room or separate rooms. A deposit of $50 is required to reserve space. It will then be deducted from total day of service.

Couples Massage Workshop

5 hours  $250 for couple

Learn massage techniques/tips to utilize at home with your partner. Come prepared to learn a lot of great information!  This workshop is totally hands-on. I will teach you and your partner a basic swedish massage, proper body mechanics, and communication. Enjoy a starter kit of massage bars from Lush along with an easy reference guide.  This is a great way to re-connect!

Workshops are scheduled on Saturdays when available. Call for more information.

Active Isolated Stretching/Strengthening Workshop

5 hours $300 per person  includes stretching rope & book

Chronic low back pain? Carpal tunnel? Overall fatigue? Frozen shoulder? Old sports injuries?

Learn and/or re-introduce yourself to the importance of true restorative flexilbility.  We often underestimate the power of flexilbility. And typically, most people are either stretching incorrectly (the OLD standard of the "sit and hold"), not consistently or thoroughly.  Did you know that flexibility helps maintain overall range of motion of joints and tissue? It helps stimulate our immune system. It keeps connective tissue healthy and pliable and creates a much needed balance in our musculoskeletal system. It is not just about "warm-up" and "cool-down". It is an essential necessity to functional living.

This workshop will teach you the dynamic modality known as AIS. The work will change your mind and your body...and don't be surprised if some of those "aches and pains" dissolve with a little hard work and focus. Take charge of your health and take care of yourself. The knowledge you will gain from this workshop will empower you to do both!

On-site workshops and/or on-site work with your athletic team or business is available. Please inquire.
